In 2026, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their change is slightly firmer than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' changeups, has slight armside fade and has some natural sink to it. Their slider sweeps across the zone, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders and has some two-plane movement. Their fourseam fastball is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has some natural sinking action, has essentially average velo and has slightly less natural movement than typical. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 12 of them in 2026) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' curves, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement.
